Understanding Breast Lump, Swelling, and Cancer Swelling

Your breast health is important, and knowing what to look out for can help you catch any potential issues early. Our Breast Health Services focus on identifying and managing common concerns like breast lumps, swelling, or masses, and cancer-related swelling in women. Early diagnosis and treatment can make a significant difference in ensuring better health outcomes.

Common Breast Health Concerns

Breast Lump:
- A breast lump is a localized swelling, bump, or mass in the breast tissue.
- Benign Causes: Most breast lumps are non-cancerous and may be due to conditions like cysts or fibroadenomas.
- Symptoms to Watch: Painless or tender swelling, changes in breast shape, or skin dimpling.
- What to Do: If you notice a lump, don’t panic. Schedule a clinical breast examination for an accurate diagnosis.
Breast Swelling or Mass:
- Swelling or mass in the breast may occur due to hormonal changes, infection, or injury.
- Benign Reasons: Hormonal fluctuations during periods, pregnancy, or breastfeeding can lead to temporary swelling.
- When to Worry: Persistent swelling, redness, or pain could indicate an infection or other underlying issues.
- Treatment Options: Mild cases may need no treatment, but infections or abscesses might require antibiotics or drainage.
Cancer-Related Swelling in Women:
- Breast cancer or advanced cancers can cause swelling in the breast or nearby lymph nodes.
- Signs of Concern: Hard, irregular lumps, nipple discharge, or thickened skin resembling orange peel.
- Importance of Early Detection: Timely screening, like mammograms and ultrasounds, can detect changes before symptoms worsen.
